McCain did give a gracious speech, and he may have won had he used that approach earlier. What McCain didn't say bothered me the most. He acknowledged this is a good day for African-Americans, which this absolutley is. However, had he stated that while this was a good day for African-Americans, it was also a great day for people of all races, I think he'd have gone a long way to quashing some of the racial bias that some percentage of his supporters have.

I know! How classless. I thought that too. Our household all commented on that. Did you hear the Dems cheering McCain during Obama's speech? I thought McCain's speech was really good. Been waiting to hear it a while now.. ;-)

Do you think that it would have been any different at the Obama rally if he was giving his concession speech? I don't really think that it is fair to say that because some people booed then they must be bad or racist people, what about all those who booed at hillary's concession speach when Obama won the primary. Are those racist democrats?

I'd like to say that I was surprised, but after watching the hate-filled rallies McCain and Palin have held the last few months (and defended), I knew that we hadn't seen the last of that red state mentality.

Kind of turns your stomach, doesn't it? and then when someone has the nerve to say that most Democrats are more compassionate and open-minded than Republicans, we find them wanting to use the term "compassionate conservative"

How have you been? I've been pretty disappointed with the voters decision on California's Prop 8. :(
